I am a frequent watcher of the Insiders on the ABC on a Sunday morning. The Sunday paper is well and truly over by 9.00am! Though this is not always a relaxing experience it is informative and provides a snapshot of the week in politics. 'Talking Pictures' is always enjoyable as it is pithy and mostly accurate reflection of the issues that confronted politicians and the public alike.
Last Sunday there was much talk about the Budget and Tony rAbbot's (sic) response. This was an enlightening dump on the media in which all journos commented on the misinformation and the inaccuracies that the dailies, radio shock jocks and others delivered on the Budget's content and impacts and the hysteria they created by describing middle class welfare recipients as 'rich'.
There was criticism of the usual anti-Labor media suspects including by two on the the panel who write for one of the most trenchant newspapers! So it was with some disquiet that I looked at the program on the web and found no video excerpt that reflected this analysis and criticism. Why? Well I have asked Insiders for an explanation! But don't hold your breath on getting inside the Insiders!
